Henry if she can make a full report of his strategy to send to David.  Valerie tells David not to show the report to anyone, only his solicitor.  "I think you'll like it," says Valerie.  "Almost as much as our visit to Mr Shakespear that we never had," says Valerie.  David smiles.  "Lunch with Barbara and me before you go," suggests David.  "Lunch without business," says Valerie.  "As you please," replies David and leaves.

 

J. Henry Pollard stares at his wife.  "Valerie.  What is this move I am going to make against Paul Ross?" asks J. Henry.  "Don't you know" says Valerie.  "I think you had better think one up fast as soon as we escape from here," says Valerie and they both laugh.

Barbara asks David what happened in J. Henry's chalet.  "I met another strange woman," says David.  "Darling, be serious," says Barbara.  "I am being serious," says David.  "The strange woman looked exactly like Valerie Pollard, but she behaved like the best wife a man ever had," says David.  "Excepting you of course," he adds.  "If you tell me she burst into tears..." says Barbara.  "No.  Wool though.  I'm pretty sure of that now," says David.  "Wool?  David, what are you on about?" asks Barbara.  "The wool she tried to pull over my eyes," says David and laughs.  "Lucky husband, J. Henry," says David.  "Almost as lucky as I am," adds David, looking at Barbara.  "Oh shut up," laughs Barbara.
